If you love to collage or have always been drawn to collage art, this is the workshop for you. Using small (2.5”) wood substrate squares, we’ll make several mini collages using magazine clippings, text from old books, rhinestones, photos and anything else your imagination comes up with. Once these are completed, we’ll arrange them on the substrate of your choosing. Each mini collage is a work of art and when arranged together you’ll take home a beautiful piece of meaningful artwork.
